Gulf Coast Marine Associates (Hydraulic Division) specializes in the repair / replacement and refurbishment of hydraulic systems such as Bethlehem and Baker jacking / skidding systems. They also specialize in the repair of rig systems in general.
Gulf Coast Training Technologies specializes in providing Maritime Training Courses. At this time we have constructed a Jacking Operations class utilizing our state of the art GCM Simulator with the programs matching several classes of Jack-up Rigs. The Simulator is on an electrically controlled tilt table that gives the Student the “Real” feel of being in the Control Room. We will be utilizing several different scenarios (Raising & Lowering Legs, Pre-Loading, Punch through, & Emergency situations.) for the training with each student training and demonstrating competence on the Simulator prior to successfully completing the course.
Included in the class is an introduction to Stability which teaches students Stability Theories, the effects of weight on stability and trim, mathematical calculations, and load form usage. Students will also have a review of information provided in the rig’s operations manual for safe operation of the MODU. (This can be tailored for any rig or company if a Marine Operations Manual is provided.) Also covered are “Worst Case Scenarios” concerning actual offshore disasters are used in conjunction with Damage Stability and Survival Mode Preparations to illustrate proper procedures in emergency situations.
